New York, NY, United States, October 26th, 2025, FinanceWire In a significant nod to its growing influence in revenue technology, Digital Journal has ranked DealHub CPQ as the top alternative to Salesforce CPQ in its October 2025 review of Configure-Price-Quote (CPQ) platforms. The article “The 7 Salesforce CPQ Alternatives Redefining Revenue Agility in 2025” places DealHub at No. 1, highlighting the shifting demands of revenue operations teams and repositioning DealHub as a key player in the quote-to-cash space. The evolving CPQ market and why companies are rethinking Salesforce CPQ Legacy CPQ platforms like Salesforce CPQ are increasingly being challenged by the complexity of subscription-based, usage-based, and hybrid business models. The Digital Journal piece emphasizes that modern revenue teams expect quoting tools to offer more than product configuration and pricing—they want buyer engagement, contract lifecycle, and billing capabilities in one unified workflow. For businesses in the Philippines and wider Southeast Asia—where IT capacity may be limited and speed of implementation matters—this transition offers a timely opportunity. At the same time, some analysts note that Salesforce’s emphasis has shifted from standalone CPQ to its broader Revenue Cloud initiative, prompting organizations to explore viable alternatives with faster deployment and lower customization burden. What sets DealHub apart and why it earns the #1 spot DealHub’s recognition by Digital Journal is not merely a marketing accolade—it stems from specific platform differentiators that organizations value in 2025. The review highlights DealHub’s unified “revenue orchestration” architecture that connects configure-price-quote, contract management, and subscription billing in a single environment. Its buyer-focused DealRoom interface and embedded pricing-intelligence tools further differentiate it. Independent vendor-comparison data offers additional support: SelectHub’s 2025 review lists DealHub as a comprehensive sales-engagement and CPQ platform for mid-to-large enterprises with complex product lines and subscription requirements. For sales operations teams aiming to reduce time-to-quote, lower administrative overhead, and simplify integration with CRM systems, these features translate directly into operational advantage. Implications for ASEAN organisations For enterprises based in the ASEAN region, the significance of this recognition extends beyond vendor selection; it signals alignment with global best practice. Firms operating in sectors such as agribusiness, manufacturing, logistics, and services often face complex bundling, diverse pricing models, and limited internal IT resources. Adopting DealHub offers a way to leapfrog legacy deployments, implement faster, and scale regionally with reduced technical risk. Moreover, the fact that a global publication has validated DealHub’s leadership adds credibility when selecting a vendor across international and multi-region operations. Strategic questions for revenue leaders to ask ahead of CPQ change As organizations evaluate whether to remain with their current CPQ solution or shift to a modern alternative like DealHub, several strategic questions arise. How long does your current quoting cycle take, and how many systems (CPQ, contract management, subscription billing) need to be integrated? What is the total cost of ownership, including implementation, customization, and ongoing maintenance? Does your platform support emerging business models such as consumption-based pricing or recurring services? Finally, with Salesforce’s CPQ repositioning underway, what migration or support risks exist for your current solution? Considering these questions can help build the business case for switching to a modern revenue-orchestration platform. A reflection on leadership in CPQ is now a strategic revenue lever Recognition by Digital Journal is more than a badge; it underscores a fundamental shift in how businesses approach CPQ, quoting, and revenue operations. For revenue-operations teams in 2025 and beyond, the choice of platform is not simply about quoting faster—it's about enabling business model agility, reducing operational friction, and creating seamless buyer engagement. DealHub’s positioning at the top of the alternative list signals that many organizations see CPQ as a strategic lever for growth, not just a quoting tool.
